Challenge
GENUI, an impact-focused buyout private equity fund, partnered with Value for Good (VfG) to both assess and enhance the impact of its investments.
Contribution
In 2023, VfG helped to develop the impact assessment methodology for GENUI, conducted several impact reviews using market-leading frameworks and developed a comprehensive Theory of Change with targeted impact KPIs for selected GENUI portfolio companies.
VfG continues to collaborate with GENUI on impact red flag assessments and comprehensive impact due diligence, including impact value creation plans, impact KPIs for management incentivisation, and monetarisation of impact where applicable, thereby contributing to the alignment of future investments with the fund’s strategy.
Impact
As a result, GENUI has a tested impact assessment methodology in place and has gained deep insights on how to leverage and maximise the impact of its portfolio companies.
